| hello all ... does anybody remember why threaded python is not allowed on some flavors of BSD? i was surprised to read this in the configure script ... # threaded python is not supported on bsd's echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking whether Python is compiled with thread support" >&5 echo $ECHO_N "checking whether Python is compiled with thread support... $ECHO_C" >&6 pythreads=`${PYTHON} -c "import sys; print int('thread' in sys.builtin_module_names)"` if test "$pythreads" = "1"; then echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6 case $host_os in openbsd*|freebsd*) { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: threaded Python not supported on this platform" >&5 echo "$as_me: error: threaded Python not supported on this platform" >&2;} { (exit 1); exit 1; }; } is there an issue with BSD itself or is it just a matter of linking the backend against pthreads? the problem is that this is a bit of a showstopper for skytools on BSD ... many thanks, hans -- Cybertec Geschwinde & Schönig GmbH Gröhrmühlgasse 26, 2700 Wiener Neustadt Tel: +43/1/205 10 35 / 340 www.postgresql.at, www.cybertec.at |

AFAIR the problem is they use separate libc for threaded things, and main postgres is (and will be) linked with non-threaded libc. -- marko ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org |
